Boom! Community Arts are currently seeking new volunteers to join our Board of Trustees.

In line with our new 2026-2029 strategy, and following a skills audit of the current board, we would be particularly interested to talk to those with any of the following skills & experience:

• Developing membership programmes
• Community / Participatory Arts (practice or management, including regulatory framework)
• Social enterprise models / non-grant-related income generation
• Marketing
• Organisational growth

In addition, experience of comms, data management/data protection, finance, and a connection to North Glasgow would also be of value.

About Boom!

Boom! is a small charity working primarily in the North of Glasgow, delivering community art workshops and engaging in local events. Our mission, to“engage with communities to deliver creative, exciting, and accessible arts projects that enrich lives and strengthen communities”is underpinned by our values: Creativity, Working Together, Respect, Fun, and Quality.

We engage a small pool of freelance artists to deliver this work, which currently centres around three regular workshop strands (for both adults and young people), and participation in community events. Our freelance administrative staff (total 0.6 FTE) work to support delivery, fundraise, and contribute to our drive to develop new earned income streams.

About our Board

Our existing Board of four are committed, engaged, and have been with the charity since its inception in 2017; we recognise the need for, and welcome, fresh eyes and perspectives. As a small charity which has grown organically and with an eye toward sustainability, we are at a key point in our development as we seek to grow the reach and capacity of the organisation.

Expected commitment

Board meetings take place either in-person in North Glasgow or online, four times per year, and board members also contribute to or oversee other ongoing areas of work including finance, policy and strategy development, safeguarding, and project ideation. Our Chair is regularly an Elf in our annual Santa’s Saunter.

We hope that any potential candidates could commit to a 2-3 year term, and could be involved in progressing pieces of work between board meetings.

Ricefield Arts & Cultural Centre is a registered charity and social enterprise for the exploration and promotion of Chinese culture and has an excellent reputation for delivering original and inspiring creative experiences, cultural events and workshops to community groups, public institutions and arts audiences around Scotland.

We are currently looking to appoint a Treasurer to join our small Board. The Treasurer will be responsible for managing all financial matters on behalf of our organisation and will be responsible for ensuring that the organisation has robust financial processes to ensure it meets its legal and constitutional requirements. It will also be the responsibility of the Treasurer to report the financial position at the board meetings. While we encourage and welcome applicants of all backgrounds, we are keen to hear from candidates that have experience of charity financial management or are chartered in a suitable accountancy field.

All Trustees are required to attend monthly board meetings, either at our office located in the heart of Glasgow city centre or via Zoom. In addition, we ask Trustees to attend our annual board development day, important meetings with stakeholders and some events and projects, where possible. As Ricefield Arts is a social enterprise, the role also involves serving as our Board of Directors.

Please note that this is a voluntary role. Neither the Trustees nor Board of Directors receive any remuneration, however, travel expenses incurred in carrying out board duties will be fully reimbursed.

Other than the Treasurer, we also wish to appoint additional Trustee(s) with community engagement or cultural events management experience to serve our Board. Please check our website for more information.

The Presbytery of Clyde offers an exciting opportunity for an individual who is visionary, approachable and passionate about mission and reform in the Church of Scotland. You will help to shape the future of our Presbytery to best serve God and our varied communities. You will bring experience of the Church of Scotland, inspirational leadership and a flexibility in working practices to respond to the changing needs of our Presbytery as we meet the challenges of our day.

Working as part of a team, with staff and volunteers representing all aspects of Clyde Presbytery, you will provide strategic and organisational leadership, guidance, advice and pastoral support.

The Creative Development & Opportunities Coordinator (Part-Time) will work closely with the Development Manager to support the coordination of resources, creative practitioners, and delivery processes across Sunny Govan Community Radio’s existing and expanding cultural activity.

This is a coordination and capacity-building support role, designed to strengthen systems and reduce pressure on delivery staff as activity grows. The post supports the administration, scheduling, recruitment support, contracting, and payment processes that underpin Sunny Govan’s cultural programmes, ensuring delivery remains joined-up, realistic, and compliant with funder and Fair Work expectations.

Working within a collective, non-hierarchical approach, the Coordinator supports cultural activity as an interconnected network of projects, people, and relationships rather than isolated strands of delivery. The role does not carry strategic responsibility or line management, but provides essential coordination infrastructure that enables high-quality, community-led cultural activity to take place sustainably.

This post contributes directly to Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective priorities by strengthening place-based cultural infrastructure and ensuring creative practitioners are fairly recruited, contracted, supported, and paid.

North Glasgow Community Food Initiative (NGCFI) is entering a significant phase of organisational development, with access to a new community-owned building, a long-term lease of Milton Community Garden, and the launch of a community food truck in early 2026. These assets present a major opportunity to develop social enterprise activity and earned income that supports long-term financial sustainability.

The Income Generation & Partnerships Manager is a fixed-term, two-year development role. The purpose of the role is to design, test, and embed sustainable income-generation models linked to NGCFI’s assets, ensuring that successful approaches can continue beyond the funding period.

This role is focused on social enterprise development, partnership building, and business planning, and is separate from core frontline service delivery.

The Finance Officer is responsible for implementing and maintaining robust financial systems and procedures that support the Project Manager and staff team. The role ensures that all staff meet their budgetary and financial management responsibilities, safeguarding the accuracy, compliance, and integrity of the organisation’s financial activities and records.

As the organisation expands its trading and income-generation activities, the Finance Officer will play a key role in supporting the transition towards reduced reliance on grant funding. The organisation works with approximately 50 funders annually, managing multiple budgets with varying timescales, reporting requirements, and deadlines.

GNWCAB’s Board of Directors are looking for four new Directors to work alongside other board members to oversee and support our Chief Executive and our dynamic team of staff and volunteers. Later this year, we will be moving premises and we are seeking to expand our Board to support this process and our onward development. At this important point in our journey, we are seeking Directors who can bring different perspectives to help the Bureau achieve its plans for the future and provide the most relevant and accessible advice services possible.

The Board is currently made up of seven Directors, each offering a different skillset that can support the governance needs and development aims of the organisation. We welcome applications from anyone who feels passionate about our work, regardless of professional background.

The Board has identified an upcoming skills gap related to third sector fundraising and governance, and we hope to fill one of the four roles with someone who has experience of this kind. We would encourage applicants with this background to also consider joining our Finance, Risk, and Audit Committee (FRAC).

For the remaining three roles, we encourage candidates of all kinds, particularly those with strong knowledge of and connections to north west Glasgow. Most important to us is finding candidates who fit our values and our organisation. We are looking for people who are approachable, transparent, team players, positive influencers and who are willing to contribute to debate.

GNWCAB’s staff team, volunteers and clients come from a diverse range of backgrounds, and widening access and inclusion is central to our mission and our values. We want our Board to be representative of our local community and so would welcome approaches from people who live locally or have lived experience of issues facing our clients. We encourage applications from groups that are under-represented on charity boards, particularly people from Black, Asian, or other minority ethnic communities, as well as young and Disabled people.

We happily welcome applications from people who have not been senior volunteers or sat on a board before. GNWCAB is committed to the on-going development of our staff and volunteers and we provide opportunities for training and engagement across the organisation on a regular basis. As a new Director, you will be fully inducted and offered training tailored to your level of experience that would support your development in the role.
